Reindeer Fine Motor Shape Dots

reindeer fine motor shape dots for preschool and kindergarten
I made reindeer shape dot cards to work on shape recognition as well as fine motor skills development. I printed them on cardstock paper but you can use regular paper if you like.

I set the dot cards out with a small container of paint and some q-tips. The children dip the q-tips in the paint and then fill in the blank dots on the shapes.

You can use markers or glue sequins on the blank dots if you did not want to use paint. I made both black and white as well as color patterns with two different styles of shape dots. You can download the patterns below.

Countdown To Christmas

Countdown To Christmas Activities For Preschool and Kindergarten
I wanted to share some of my favorite "Countdown To Christmas" activities that we have done in the past.  I have made the countdowns easy to make and the children enjoy keeping track of many days are left until Christmas.

Countdown to Christmas Mats:

Print either on regular or cardstock paper. Glue on to a sheet of colored cardstock paper.  Starting on December 1st cover up the number 25 on the mat.  Each day cover up another number (24, 23, 22, etc) to count down to Christmas.

You can download the countdown mats here.

Scissor Skills Christmas Countdown:
Scissor Skills Christmas Countdown For Peschool and Kindergarten
I made countdown that also work on scissor and fine motor skills.  The patterns can be printed on regular or cardstock paper and the children glue them together where indicated to form a long strip.  Each day they cut off a number from the bottom of the strip until it is Christmas.

You can grab the patterns here and see a video of this activity by clicking below:
Scissor Skills Christmas Countdown
Christmas Countdown Chain:

​For this countdown we cut red and green construction paper into strips and put a number on each one. We alternated the colors of each number link ... for example the first one was red and the next one was green and the third one was red etc.

Children glued together the ends of the first link (number one) and then laced the second link through and glued the ends together.  They continued until they had connected all 25 links.

We hung the chain up and each day a child was chosen to removed a link from the bottom of the chain which would the show how many days were left until Christmas.
